Abstract

Lactobacillus plantarum strain KK3 with tannase activity was isolated from Gochunipkimchi (red pepper leaf kimchi) and showed a high antagonistic activity against five kinds of food pathogens. Strain KK3 secreted antibacterial compound into culture medium and 24-h culture in MRS broth at $30^{\circ}C$ was enough for the antibacterial compound production. The crude antibacterial compound prepared from culture supernatant inhibited the growth of some Gram-negative bacteria and Bacillus cereus but not Listeria monocytogenes. The antibacterial activity was sensitive to proteinase K treatment, confirming its proteinaceous nature (bacteriocin). The crude bacteriocin was active in the pH range 3.5-8.5 and extremely stable after 15 min of heat treatment at $121^{\circ}C$. The strain KK3 produced equally active bacteriocin in Chinese cabbage juice as it produced in MRS broth.
